I can feel a little kidney stone knocking around. Haven't had one for a couple of years. Will be annoying until it decides to pass.

There was joy in pushing buttons like these.

#BookSky #Poetry Remember the line in the sand? You were there, on the telly, part of the military. You didn't want to give it but they took your money for those lethal tanks and the bombs.

From today's Chronophoto game: when Santa(?) induced nightmares. 😆

Come hither, giant moggy, with your magnificent paws, And sing for the present before it shall fail, Pile on your platter a mountain of beef For tis hunting and eating which brings you relief, So fill up your belly, As time passes quickly, Giant Moggy of Dunbar. -Anon

But the days go by, and the lilacs die, and trembling birds seek cover; yet the lady stands, with her long white hands held out to greet her lover

With a heavy heart, beginning to unfollow, block, and mute accounts continuing to post large amounts of gen AI content. It's not cute, it's not art, and it's egregiously harmful to human beings, communities, and the environment.

Naught but a leap to the left And thanne a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thyne hippes, And be thy knees yn-gatheréd: Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste That maketh mirthe down to rayne - Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!

Couldn't remember if I'd taken my 2nd dose of adderall yet today (I have a system but every once in a while this still happens). Pretty sure I didn't, so deliberately took one. I'll know the answer in about 15 minutes! 🤣 (This isn't dangerous, doc says it's fine)

Paws In update: The good news is Chessie's thyroid is looking good, no issue there. The bad news is she is in the beginning stages of kidney disease. This isn't unexpected for a grande dame of 18, but it does mean she's going to have to begin a rx diet and more frequent blood tests. 🥺

I'm gonna say “Bloody Mary” three times into the mirror just to have a fellow f*cked-up-peson to talk to

Hurrah! this is the way a fellow feels when he’s going to Davy Jones—all a rush down an endless inclined plane!

@bsky.app Thanks, I hate it. Really hoping this is a glitch and not a new "feature." Only 5 hours' worth of a chronological feed and then this pops up? No one who uses the Following feed wants this. We use it because we don't want to see other, potentially triggering, stuff, and because ORDER.

Box is sad 😔 Box stays all day long behind the window, waiting for his owner to come back home.

Paws in for Chessie - her eating and litterbox habits have been off for a while so we're going to the V-E-T this morning. Don't want to take chances with super-seniors. (Chessie just corrected me - grandes dames!)

Check out this Southampton, PA McDonald's after a remodel in 1984. That Ronald stained glass piece is ridiculously cool.

@haughtyautie.bsky.social Hey lady, missing your face and hoping you're doing all right. Griefwalking isn't a straightforward path, and I've been thinking of you as you tread it. 🫶🫶🫶
